In the stone chamber, the medicine cauldron has been set up.
There was a crimson bead placed under the medicine cauldron. At this time, the bead was releasing red flames.
A wisp of white air slowly rose from the cauldron.
The moon-white figure walked to the cauldron and looked at it quietly for a while. Then he took out a brocade box and put one of the medicinal materials in it.
A strong medicinal fragrance suddenly filled the entire stone room.
“It smells so good!”
Luo Qingzhou stood behind the Yuebai figure and couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
The moon-white figure turned its head and looked at him.
Luo Qingzhou was stunned for a moment and quickly explained: "Sister Yue, I mean this elixir smells great, not you."
The moon-white figure still looked at him silently.
Luo Qingzhou froze and could only whisper: "Of course, Sister Yue also smells good..."
In the stone room, there was silence.
After a while, the potion in the cauldron began to bubble and boil.
Only then did the Yuebai figure look away from him, took out another brocade box, and poured some medicinal materials inside.
At this time, a strange smell rose from the cauldron and quickly filled the entire stone chamber.
"It stinks!"
Luo Qingzhou covered his nose and felt like vomiting.
The moon-white figure looked at him again.
Luo Qingzhou quickly pointed to the medicine cauldron and explained: "I'm talking about the smell of medicine."
Then he said shamelessly: "But luckily Sister Youyue was standing next to her and exuding the fragrance, so I couldn't hold back from vomiting."
The moon-white figure stared at him silently for a while, then Fang slowly said: "This medicine cauldron was given to me by you before. Before refining the medicine, it needs to be washed three times with clean water and steamed once with boiling water. Input internal force or soul power, establish a connection with it, and slowly control it to grow..."
"The size of the medicine cauldron needs to be changed according to the quantity and quality of the elixirs to be refined. The water for refining the elixirs can be used from mountain springs, water from the bottom of rivers and lakes. If the quality of the elixirs is too high, it is necessary to use collected dew and other water There is a difference between the water containing spiritual energy, morning dew and evening dew..."
Luo Qingzhou was stunned for a moment, and when he saw her directly starting to teach the alchemy method, he immediately held his breath and concentrated, pricked up his ears, and listened carefully.
"You cannot use ordinary flames to refine elixirs. You need to use earth fire, or elixir fire, and other special fires. The size of the fire needs to be controlled and changed at any time, and the alchemist needs to continuously transfer internal energy or soul power to control..."
After a stick of incense.
The Yuebai figure stopped, opened the lid of the cauldron again, put all the remaining medicinal materials in, then took out a water-gathering bead and filled the cauldron with water again.
"I'm going to start refining the elixir. You can practice next to me."
The Yuebai figure put away his things and sat down in front of the medicine cauldron.
Luo Qingzhou said: "Sister Yue, don't I have to watch?"
The slender fingers of the moon-white figure moved slightly, and a ray of light shot out and disappeared into the red orb under the medicine cauldron.
"Wow!"
The flame rising from the orb immediately became stronger.
Then she said calmly: "Just remember what I just said for the time being. As for the process of refining the elixir, you can follow me when I refine a simple elixir next time."
Then he turned to look at him and said, "Aren't you eager to make a breakthrough?"
Luo Qingzhou nodded, said nothing more, stepped aside, took out a futon from the storage ring, placed it on the ground, and sat down.
Then he took out the spiritual liquid and dripped it into his palm.
A hot breath immediately passed through the palm, flowed into the body, and was absorbed by the soul heart.
The Yuebai figure looked at the flames under the medicine cauldron, and input soul power again, making the flames burn even more vigorously.
The entire medicine cauldron was almost engulfed in flames.
In the stone chamber, except for the sound of burning flames and the boiling of the cauldron, there was silence.
Luo Qingzhou closed his eyes and quickly entered a state of cultivation.
I do not know how long it has been.
He finally absorbed the energy of the spiritual liquid in his body, and his whole soul felt slightly hot and particularly energetic.
When he took a long breath and opened his eyes, the flames under the medicine cauldron were still burning brightly.
A rich and alluring fragrance floated throughout the stone room.
The moon-white figure sitting in front of the medicine cauldron had his eyes closed and remained motionless. Between the slender jade finger and the crimson bead under the medicine cauldron, there was a faint white thread connecting it.
Luo Qingzhou looked closely and saw that the moon-white halo on her body had disappeared, revealing a snow-white dress, jet-black hair, and an ordinary face.
Glittery beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.
The flame under the medicine cauldron has been burning brightly, and the soul power in her body has been rapidly consumed.
Luo Qingzhou stared at her blankly for a while, then couldn't help but get up, walked closer, squatted down, and looked at her up close.
The temperature in front of the medicine cauldron was extremely hot.
The hair on her temples was already wet with sweat. A drop of crystal clear sweat slowly flowed down her white cheek, then flowed into her white neck and continued to slide down...
Luo Qingzhou withdrew his gaze, looked at her long eyelashes, and said softly: "Sister Yue, take a rest for a while."
The other party still had his eyes closed, motionless, and showed no response.
Luo Qingzhou looked at the medicine cauldron in front of him.
White smoke floated out from the gap in the cauldron cover, and the aroma of medicine became more and more intense.
At this time, I'm afraid it's a critical moment, so we can't stop.
Luo Qingzhou retracted his gaze and looked at the girl in front of him again. Seeing more and more sweat on her forehead and cheeks, he couldn't help but take out a handkerchief. After hesitating for a while, Fang gently stretched it over and wiped her carefully. Sweat on it.
The moment the handkerchief touched her skin, her long eyelashes trembled slightly.
Luo Qingzhou's hand also trembled.
He suddenly realized something was wrong.
The touch was wrong, and the feeling rising in my heart was wrong.
He frowned slightly and wiped all the sweat off her forehead with a handkerchief. Then he put the handkerchief in front of his nose and smelled it, then touched it with his other hand, becoming more and more surprised.
He was startled, and then looked at the girl in front of him again. After hesitating for a moment, he quietly approached, put his nose in front of her cheek, sniffed, then reached to her hair, sniffed in front of her neck, and suddenly felt something in his heart. shock.
Not a soul, but a physical body!
Sister Yue’s physical body is here!
He was shocked, and after thinking about it carefully, it suddenly dawned on him.
Sister Yue who came before was probably just a soul. When he came back from meeting Xiaoyue on the river, Sister Yue was probably in physical form.
Refining this kind of elixir should consume a lot of energy and require full concentration.
If it were just the soul, if something went wrong during the process, it would be impossible to remedy. Therefore, in order to increase the success rate, Sister Yue directly returned to the soul and let the physical body refine the medicine in person.
However, where was Sister Yue’s body hidden before?
With Sister Yue's cultivation level, every time her soul leaves her body, she probably only needs to separate out a ray of soul, and her physical body should still be as normal and she can move freely.
Thinking of this, his eyes looked at the girl in front of him again, as if he was meeting her for the first time.
"Sister Yue is very good at breath-holding techniques and disguise techniques. Could it be that her height, body shape and face are also disguises?"
This thought suddenly came to his mind.
Looking at her sweaty cheek, he couldn't help but stretched out his handkerchief and carefully wiped the sweat on her cheek. At the same time, he carefully observed her cheek.
Even with the art of disguise, it is impossible to completely transform into another person.
He observed carefully for a long time, but found no clues. Suddenly he remembered the mask on his face, and thought to himself: Sister Yue also has a mask like that, right?
The more he thought about it, the more likely it seemed. After hesitating for a long time, he finally couldn't help but stretched out his finger, ready to check...
Um?
He suddenly felt that something was wrong with the aura emanating from Sister Yue.
The breath in front of the medicine cauldron was obviously very hot, but it suddenly dropped and became cold.
He was stunned for a moment and immediately looked into her eyes.
The moon-white figure was motionless with its eyes open, staring at him coldly.
Luo Qingzhou: "..."
The air seemed to suddenly freeze, and time seemed to stand still.
Luo Qingzhou froze, and hurriedly retracted his fingers. Just when he was about to explain, the moon-white figure slowly closed his eyes again, his face still calm, and the white air on his fingertips poured into the medicine faster and faster. The crimson bead under the tripod.
"Wow!"
The flames under the medicine cauldron began to sway.
And the medicine cauldron on the flame started to rotate slowly.
A more alluring medicinal fragrance overflowed from the medicinal cauldron.
Luo Qingzhou suddenly woke up and did not dare to disturb her anymore. He looked at the snow-white handkerchief in his hand that was stained with her sweat. He looked at her for a while, then Fang silently put away the handkerchief and looked at the medicine cauldron. .
About another hour passed.
There was a sudden "bang" in the medicine cauldron, and there was a light sound, like the sound of something exploding.
The moon-white figure's eyelashes twitched, and the white air on her fingertips began to gradually become smaller, and soon it was all gone.
The flame under the medicine cauldron also quickly became smaller, and finally, it was completely extinguished.
The medicine cauldron that was spinning in the air slowly fell down.
The lid of the cauldron suddenly tightened, and all the fragrance that was flowing outward was suddenly taken back and forced into the cauldron.
Another moment passed.
The moon-white figure's square eyelashes trembled and she slowly opened her eyes.
Only then did Luo Qingzhou dare to speak and asked cautiously: "Sister Yue, was it successful?"
The moon-white figure looked at the medicine cauldron in front of him, and after being quiet for a while, Fang said in a cold voice: "It will take another nine hours. Come back tomorrow night."
By this time, it should be daylight outside.
Luo Qingzhou thought about going to the mountain to practice today, and thought about his embarrassing behavior just now, so he didn't dare to stay any longer, and quickly stood up and said: "Sister Yue, I'm going to practice first."
The Yuebai figure was silent for a moment, then said calmly: "Did you just touch me?"
Luo Qingzhou stiffened for a moment and denied: "No, I didn't touch it, I just wiped sister Yue's sweat..."
The moon-white figure looked at him with cold eyes.
"Touched...touched..."
Facing her cold and deep eyes, Luo Qingzhou felt guilty and admitted it directly.
The moon-white figure looked at him quietly and said nothing.
"Um...Sister Yue, I still have something to do...come back tonight..."
After Luo Qingzhou finished speaking, he didn't dare to stay any longer. He immediately stood up and fled out in a gray manner.
When he returned to the river, it was already dawn outside and the snow had finally stopped.
On the hillside not far away, Brother Qin was sitting in a daze under a big tree and did not go back to sleep.
Luo Qingzhou looked around again, then returned to his small courtyard, floated into the room, and returned to his senses.
Miss Qin Er in her arms was sleeping soundly.
Luo Qingzhou kissed her little mouth, then took out the summons and sent a message to Master Linghu: [Master Uncle, are you at Jianfeng? I will go to the mountain to practice later, I may need your help]
The message came back quickly: [Here, just in time, I also need your help]
The corners of Luo Qingzhou's mouth twitched and he asked: "What help does uncle need from me?" 】
Zhuzhu: [You will know when you come]
Luo Qingzhou: [Uncle Master, please declare in advance that I really want to practice and not do anything else]
Zhuzhu: [Me too, I really want to practice too]
Luo Qingzhou: [Then I won’t go]
Zhuzhu: [Whatever you want, I know where your home is anyway]
Luo Qingzhou: [...]
The sky outside is getting brighter and brighter.
The voices of Qiu'er and Xiaodie came from the small courtyard.
Luo Qingzhou put away the summons and was about to get up when Miss Qin Er in his arms opened her eyes and said softly: "Brother Qingzhou, are you going out again?"
Luo Qingzhou kissed her little mouth and said: "I'm going to the mountain to practice. By the way, Wei Mo, remember to watch your second brother at home and don't let him go out alone."
Second Miss Qin frowned slightly and said, "Second brother is going to Kyoto?"
Luo Qingzhou sighed and said: "I'm just worried. Anyway, you just have to be optimistic about him. There is no need for him to intervene in this matter. If he really wants to go, it will be even more troublesome."
Second Miss Qin hugged him tightly and said, "Brother Qingzhou, do you want to go alone?"
Luo Qingzhou was silent for a moment and said: "There is also Chanchan."
Miss Qin Er sighed slightly: "Sure enough, only Chanchan can help you..."
The two hugged Wen Wen for a while, Luo Qingzhou got up, helped her press the quilt, kissed her again, and said: "It's cold, stay at home well, remember to spend more time with your mother-in-law, and give her more advice Advise her. She cried all night last night."
Miss Qin Er looked at him softly and whispered: "Well, brother Qingzhou, you have to come back early, Weimo is waiting for you at home. If...brother Qingzhou doesn't come back, then Weimo will... …”
"Don't talk nonsense. It's cold. Let's sleep some more."
Luo Qingzhou interrupted her and quickly left the room.
Before Qiu'er could enter the house, he had already put on his shoes, walked out, and said, "Take good care of the second young lady."
Xiaodie was holding a broom and sweeping the snow on the bluestone in the middle. Her petite body was shorter than the broom in her arms. When she saw him coming out, she said crisply: "Master, I had a dream last night."
Luo Qingzhou stopped, touched her head, and said, "What did you dream about?"
Xiaodie's expression darkened and she whispered: "I dreamed about Madam. Madam told the slave to take good care of the young master."
Luo Qingzhou held her in his arms, stroked her hair and said, "Xiaodie, just take care of yourself."
Xiaodie stayed in his arms and whispered: "Master, you will go to Kyoto to save the eldest son, right?"
Luo Qingzhou didn't answer, let go of her, and said softly: "Take good care of the second young lady, take good care of yourself, and wait for the young master to come back, okay?"
Xiaodie said with tears in her eyes: "Yes."
Luo Qingzhou didn't say any more, walked out of the small courtyard, walked out from the back of the house, and walked around to the back hill of Lingxiao Sect.
When he reached the halfway point of the mountain, he stopped, thought for a moment, took out a bottle of spiritual liquid from the storage ring, and poured all the remaining spiritual liquid in the bottle into the palm of his hand.
The spiritual liquid disappeared in the palm of his hand instantly.
Soon, a hot and powerful air flow rose from the Danhai.
On Jianfeng, white snow presses on the green bamboos, and cranes ring around the peak.
A burst of cave flute sound came from the cliff not far away, melodious and sentimental.
